I'm calling it "Color Play", named after the original doll quilt I made last year for the Doll Swap (but never gave away). In fact, that one is hanging in my dining room. It's 16x20 inches.
The new lap quilt is 54x68 inches and once it's all done as a shop sample for my local quilt shop, it'll come home to be twins with the original. I've been thinking about doing this for a whole year and when I discovered that my LQS was going to carry all the Kaufman Kona solids, I knew it was time to write the pattern. I hope you like it as much as me........this one is 100 times better than the last. Don't you agree?

So clean and fresh! Love it.
I agree! I agree it is wonderful! Now how did you get those black dots on their? They are perfect!
Love it!
wow that is awesome!!
I love it! I'm drawn to solids lately, and this is just perfect! Can't wait for the pattern.
Oooh, it is sleek and sharp and so clean and crisp!
I love this-such great use of solids - it is just so crisp and fresh looking. Some people say they do not use solids much and rarely buy them - but I have always loved solids and love Kona Cotton.

That's a wonderful quilt! Can't wait to see how it's quilted, I hope you'll share.
I am new to your blog and found you when you made a mug rug ( I did vote #1 for yours) This quilt is a work of art!! it is stunning! You will get tired of hearing from me!
Again stunning!!!
I was just bragging you up on my blog. I made 2 of these myself a couple weeks ago. I couldn't help but think about black while I was stitching up the white one, so I had to do another. There was certainly a learning curve when I decided to piece in a tiny border. Yikes!! I used my hand dyes.
This quilt is awesome!!
Absolutely amazing and I would love to buy the pattern!!
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful! I love it. Beautiful. Did I say that? Oh and by the way, I hear you're having a birthday...so Happy, Happy Birthday. Sweet sixteen, right? :) blessings, marlene

Feliz Cumpleanos aka Happy Birthday! And may you be blessed with many more. I'm not supposed to tell, but a Madame something or other informed the quilting world of your birthday (lol). Oops did I tell? Love your quilt, love your blog, love the beautiful crisp photos, and ADORE you for sharing your talents, patterns, tutorials etc. I live in a college town that doesn't have a fabric store for 50 miles--I kid you not. Your site connects me to a world I would otherwise not have access to. Thank you, Merci, Gracias!
